Marc Nammour
Born in Beirut in 1978, Marc Nammour came to France in 1986, settling with in family in Jura to escape to war tearing Lebanon apart. A firm believer in the link between his work as a poet and his political engagement, the rapper got the name of his group La Canaille, which he founded in 2003 with Jérôme Boivin, Valentin Durup, and Alexis Bossard, from a revolutionary song of the Paris Commune. With his deep mistrust of social and musical labels, Marc Nammour has taken part in many projects, notably with Serge Teyssot-Gay (Zone libre, Debout dans les cordages), that see openness as the keystone of creativity.
